UJehova wabonakala kuMose esihlahleni esivuthayo
1UMose wayeselusa umhlambi kaJetiro umukhwe wakhe, umpristi wakwaMidiyani; wahola umhlambi emva kwehlane, wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu kuze kufike eHorebe.
2Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi kaJehova elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni somunga;
3Wayesethi uMose: “Mangiphambuke, ngibone lo mbono omkhulu, ukuthi isihlahla somunga asishiswanga ngani.”
4Kwathi uJehova ebona ukuthi uphendukile ukuthi abone, uNkulunkulu wambiza esesihlahleni somunga, wathi: “Mose, Mose! Wathi: “Ngilapha.”
5Wathi: “Ungasondeli; khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
6Futhi wathi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMose wafihla ubuso bakhe; ngoba wayesaba ukubuka uNkulunkulu.
7UJehova wathi: “Ngikubonile nokukubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe, nokukhala kwabo ngezinceku zabo ngikuzwile; ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo;
8Futhi ngehla ukuze ngibasindise esandleni sabaseGibhithe futhi ngibaqeqeshe baphume kulelo zwe ngibayise ezweni elihle nelikhulu, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi; endaweni yamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi;
9Manje, bheka, ukukhala kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwafika kimi, futhi ngabona ukucindezela abaseGibhithe ababebacindezela ngakho.
10Woza manje, ngizakuthuma kuFaro, ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
11Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngiye kuFaro, ngikhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe na?”
12Wathi: “Impela ngiyakuba nawe; lokhu kuyoba yisibonakaliso kuwe sokuthi ngikuthumile: Uma uhole abantu eGibhithe, kumelwe nikhonze uNkulunkulu kule ntaba.
13Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Bheka, lapho ngifika kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngithi kubo: ‘UNkulunkulu wawoyihlo ungithumile kini; bazakuthi kimi: Ngubani ibizo lakhe? ngizobatshelani.
14UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: NGINGENAKHO ENGIKHONA; wathi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: UNGUYE ungithumile kini.
15Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Uzakusho kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ungithumile kini: igama lami. Kuze kube phakade, lesi yisikhumbuzo sami ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.
16Hamba, ubuthe amalunga akwa-Israyeli, uthi kuwo: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, ka-Isaka, noJakobe, ibonakele kimi, yathi: Nginihambele, ngabona okwenziwa kini. EGibhithe:
17Ngathi: Ngiyakunikhuphula ekuhluphekeni kwaseGibithe, nginiyise ezweni lamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.
18Kumelwe ufike, wena namadoda amadala akwa-Israyeli, enkosini yaseGibhithe, nithi kuyo: ‘INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, isihlangabeze; manje masihambe, uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu siye ehlane, sihlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.
19Ngiyazi ukuthi inkosi yaseGibithe ayiyikunivumela ukuba nihambe, cha, kungengasandla esinamandla.
20Ngiyakwelula isandla sami, ngilehlule iGibithe ngezimangaliso zami zonke engiyozenza kulo; emva kwalokho uyakunivumela ukuba nihambe.
21Futhi ngizonika laba bantu umusa emehlweni aseGibhithe, futhi lapho nihamba, ngeke nihambe nize.
22Kodwa yilowo nalowo wesifazane kumelwe atsheleke izinto zesiliva nezegolide nezingubo kumakhelwane wakhe nakuyena ohlala endlini yakhe; ulidwebe phezu kwamadodana akho namadodakazi akho; futhi kumelwe niphange abaseGibhithe.
